Fernandez was summoned last Wednesday to appear in court by Orem City on charges of possession of a forged writing, a Class A misdemeanor and willful interference and Class C misdemeanor. Two previous misdemeanor charges of failure to comply and disorderly conduct were later dropped. Fernandez's case began after a spat with UVSC Campus Police and Parking Services resulted in him being incarcerated September 7. He was charged with tampering with evidence (a second-degree felony), and for altering his temporary parking pass. He also refused adhere to Officer Les Newell's request that the permit be forfeited to Campus Police. The felony was later dropped; however, Fernandez plans to continue fighting on his behalf. "Orem City wants to make an example of me because both of my parents are in law enforcement, and they think that I'm trying to get away with it," Fernandez said. "Yet, before the police were even involved, I already paid my $65 fine for altering my parking ticket." According to Fernandez, when he returned to his car, Officer Newell and Officer Clements demanded he relinquish possession of his parking ticket without offering an explanation as to why. "They refused to explain," he said. "I said to Officer Clements 'This parking guy says I have to hand over the parking permit due to regulation but I'm unaware of such a regulation. I have never seen it or heard of it. If you show it to me, I'll be glad to hand the permit back.'" Fernandez continued, "But he said 'no, you're going to give it to me because I said so'. . . They were all in my face, so I had to comply with them. I wasn't not going to give it to them. I didn't want to get jumped. So, I ripped it up and gave it to them." Fernandez reported he was immediately arrested and taken to Utah County Jail where he spent the night. He also said that he was not informed of the grounds in which he was arrested. "It was Newell's intent to keep me in jail for as long as he could on these bogus charges. He was trying to destroy my life," he said. "This is all a ripple effect.

'Millionaire' ratings slip in October By ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK (AP) With "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" ratings down sharply, viewers may be suffering from Regis fatigue. The game show sensation averaged 19 million viewers in October, a 21 percent drop from its average of 24 million from January through September, according to Nielsen Media Research. That's cause for concern at ABC, which has scheduled the Regis Philbin game show for four nights a week this season. Without its typical "Millionaire" bump, ABC tumbled to fourth place in last week's prime-time ratings. The game show drew an audience of 16.3 million people last Thursday, which barely qualified it for Nielsen's top 20 of the week. ABC points out that "Millionaire" faced unusually strong competition in October with the baseball playoffs and premieres of competing network shows. The network hopes for a rebound this month with a second round of celebrity shows. The decline of "Millionaire" is also inevitable given the sheer volume of shows it puts on the air, said executive producer Michael Davies. While not the big event it once was, it's stil doing strong business, he said. "'Millionaire's' strength is that it's the Energizer bunny," Davies said. "We're going to keep on going when everybody else is in repeats." NBC's one-hour season premiere of "Frasier" drew 2S.6 million viewers on Oct. 24, making it the week's most-watched program. The sitcom that replaced "Frasier" on Thursday's NBC schedule, "Will cv Grace," had 17.5 million viewers, even fewer than the premiere of the new Thursday comedy "Cursed."

Paul Wayment left his son in a pickup as he went hunting last Thursday. Allegedly, Wayment returned to find his son missing 40 minutes later. Search parties report to have recovered the child's frozen body 2 12 miles away from the original site. Summit County Detective, Rob Berry, said a polygraph test will be administered to determine the extent of the father's involvement. "He's as anxious to clear himself from any accusations as we are to determine all the facts in this particular incident," Berry said. Berry reported to the Associated Press that the boy's pajamas were worn through and a scratch was on his face, but that was the extent of his injuries. A volunteer search-party member claimed to have found the boy's body in the fetal position, lying uphill Tuesday. "He couldn't remember where the body was and was very upset," said Commander Bill Stokes. According to Sergent Lane Larkin, 55 percent of children between the ages one and three travel downhill; 11 percent go cross country, and an estimated 14 percent go uphill. "We did everything we could," said Stokes. "Temperatures were reported at -1 degree." Paul Wayment, 37, told police on October 26 that he left his son sleeping in his car seat with the doors locked. Investigators discounted kidnapping due to high security in around the hunting grounds. continued pg. 3 see "Lost Boy" "'try iwn Education Bumper Stickers He who laughs last thinks slowest.souport pub-lik edekashun.
